Negligent hiring lawsuits are often brought against employers whose employees have committed sexual crimes. Employers are responsible for their employees' actions and can be found liable if they did not conduct a proper background investigation. Checking an applicant's background exhibits due diligence in the hiring process. Most importantly, it helps protect customers and other employees from harm.

Convicted sex offenders should register with their states upon release from prison and should update their registry information every time they move, for a minimum of 10 years, or more in some states. Some crimes require offenders to register for life. Offenders who register using false information or who do not register are subject to criminal proceedings and punishments.
